Summary

Mason Elementary School is a small, high-performing public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the town of Mason, New Hampshire. With just 96 students, the school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 8th out of 224 New Hampshire elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

One of the key factors that sets Mason Elementary School apart is its exceptional academic performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, 82% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 42%, and 84% were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 55%. The school also performs exceptionally well for specific student subgroups, ranking 9th out of 223 New Hampshire elementary schools for white students and 15th out of 187 for female students, both with 5-star ratings. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.5 to 12.8 students per teacher, likely contributes to its strong academic outcomes.

While Mason Elementary School consistently outperforms the state averages, the nearby schools show more varied performance. For example, Clark-Wilkins School in Amherst, which is 11 miles away, has strong academic performance but lower than Mason Elementary School, with 76% proficiency in mathematics and 69% in reading. On the other hand, schools in the Wilton-Lyndeborough and Milford districts, which are closer in proximity, have significantly lower academic performance, with some schools ranking in the bottom quarter of the state. Despite its small size, Mason Elementary School has a significant impact on its students and the surrounding community, delivering exceptional academic outcomes and serving as a model for other elementary schools in New Hampshire.
